See the scripts for detailed usage.

configIssues(configOb) returns an array of issues found with the config file, including

Example Usage

Scripts

The make_pdf.js Node script produces PDF directly (in places where puppeteer may be used).

cd scripts
node ./make_pdf.js config/config_ult.json ~/Desktop/ult_demo.pdf

The make_html_pdf.js script produces 'chunked' HTML, which may then be converted to PDF in a web page via the browser's 'save as PDF' feature.

cd scripts
node ./make_html_for_pdf.js config/config_ult.json ~/Desktop/ult_demo.html
# Open this HTML file with a browser
# Wait for it to paginate the content
# Save as PDF
